What should I do if my child's cough hasn't cleared up in two to three months and he's been taking medication?

Thanks for the invite!

The child's long-term cough for three months that is a chronic cough, delayed treatment is likely to remain untreated for a long time, so long to take medication is not good that is not symptomatic, the general cold and cough will not last so long, I do not know if there is no checkups done in the hospital!

Cough is just a specific symptom, caused by a lot of cough causes to respiratory disease is common, such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, chronic bronchitis, whooping cough, pneumonia, allergic asthma, cough variant asthma, tuberculosis, and many other respiratory diseases will be a long-term cough, but the medication is certainly not the same, and simply say that the cough can not be specific medication guidance!

In addition, gastrointestinal diseases such as gastric reflux, mental illnesses, etc. may also appear coughing, the child long-term use of cough suppressants or anti-inflammatory drugs is more harmful to the body, it is recommended to do a detailed examination to determine the cause of the disease and then treatment!

Hello, I am aSupervisor of a tertiary hospitalPharmacist, I'm happy to answer your question and I hope my answer is helpful. Welcome to followYour attention is what keeps me going.Any questions about medication, please leave a comment or private message and be sure to respond!

Your child should have a chronic cough.

The first principle of treatment for chronic cough in children is to identify the cause of the disease and treat the cause in order to eliminate the cause of the disease in order to prevent the disease from developing further.

If an infection is received, after laboratory tests, select targeted medications for the infecting bacteria. If there is phlegm, take expectorant medication. If the child is too young, cough suppressants are not recommended because coughing is to get the phlegm out, and cough suppressants can make it difficult to get the phlegm out, which can cause obstruction of the airways in infants and young children.

Commonly used medications for chronic cough

antibiotics

If the infection is bacterial, amoxicillin clavulanate potassium is recommended (provided there is no allergy to amoxicillin), or second and third generation cephalosporins such as cefaclor, cefonicid, cefuroxime, cefotaxime, and ceftriaxone.

In case of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, macrolides such as roxithromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin may be used.

In case of fungal, tuberculosis infections, appropriate medicines for children are available, consult your doctor.

Expectorant: use Ambroxol, Ambroterol, Acetylcysteine, Bromhexine, etc.

In addition, glucocorticoids can be applied to treat airway inflammation. Such as budesonide nebulization.


The above is for reference only, not as a basis for medication, specific please go to the regular hospital consultation!

What should I do if my child is always coughing?

Hello, I'm Dr. Chung-kook, the barefoot doctor.

Children eat too much cold, but the fire is forced to the top, this kind of reasoning is difficult to understand, right? For example, the circulation of hot and cold air, do you understand? For example, the air conditioner blowing cold air, are to the bottom of the house, but in the process of cold air down, is the hot air to squeeze to the high place to go. The same is true for people, the more you eat cold food, the easier it is to drive the fire to the top, thus causing fire and cough.

The lung is the main qi, the Division of breathing, the lung towards the hundred veins, the main ruling section, the lung is the main Xuanfa Suxiong, the lung is the Huagai, the lung is a delicate organ, for the water above the source, the five elements of the main gold, the gold from the leather, the lungs and the autumn corresponding to the lungs and the lungs are the main dryness, and the large intestine with the surface and the inner. What does it mean that the lungs are the Huagai and the lungs are the delicate organs? Huagai is the big round umbrella that the people behind the Yellow Emperor raised when he came out, right? Meaning is the body's outermost defense system, and the following delicate organs is, lungs are too delicate, windy can not stand, too cold can not stand, too hot can not stand, as long as it is too much can not stand, this is the delicate organs.

What's our internal defense system? It's yang.

Let's talk about the role of Yang Qi. Yang Qi is like the electricity in the outside world. If there is no electricity, people can't swipe their friends. All the electrical appliances stop. The human body in the Yang Qi is so important, there must be other functions ah, there is a defensive role, two warm warm role, three gasification role, four promote the role of the five solid ingestion, etc., we know the role of Yang Qi, also know the importance of Yang Qi, that is to say, people are consuming the Yang Qi ah, but it is also in the production of Yang Qi, can be produced as fast as consumed if it is not, it is very dangerous.

People know that no matter how strong the person, if a month do not eat or drink also have to die, that people live or rely on food, so the source of yang qi from the spleen and stomach, to the original in the diet, so we have to understand the function of the spleen, the function of the spleen, spleen five elements of the main earth, the four seasons and the long summer corresponds to the stomach with the appearance of the spleen, spleen, the main transportation, the main blood and unity of the blood, for the source of blood and qi biochemistry, but also the origin of the day after the original, or phlegmatic source of dampness, the main rise of spleen. Spleen qi main rise, well, talking about this we can think of what?

If the spleen's yang qi is sufficient, the function of the spleen will be normal, and it will turn dietary substances into qi and blood to fill up the body. On the contrary, if the spleen's yang qi is insufficient, the function of the spleen will decline, and the dietary substances will not be completely turned into qi and blood, and a considerable portion of phlegm and dampness will be produced. Therefore, it is said that the spleen is the source of phlegm and dampness, and the lungs are the storage vessels, which means that the spleen is the place where phlegm and dampness are produced, and the lungs are the tanks where phlegm and dampness are stored, and when the tanks are full, a portion of the coughs come out. cough up some of it.

Why is the spleen's yang energy insufficient? People are consuming yang qi every moment, but some people consume slowly, some people consume quickly, how to accelerate the rate of consumption of yang qi? First, excessive is to eat cold food, not according to the temperature of the food to separate the hot and cold properties of food ah. Secondly, excessive exertion, thirdly, I love to brush the circle of friends, I do not sleep. The fourth is to wind not temperature, even if it is freezing outside I still long skirt fluttering. The children are still craving for cold food.

From the above relationship we can see that the spleen in the five elements of the main earth, lungs in the five elements of the main gold, the five elements of the birth of each other, the earth begets gold, that is to say, the spleen is the mother of the lungs, the spleen, if cold, not enough yang, and produce phlegm and dampness blocked in the lungs, affecting the lungs of the gas normal XuanFaSuShi, because the spleen function is insufficient to produce enough yang to supply the lungs, so the lungs of the Huagai function that is, the decline in the function of the defense in the lungs afraid of Too, too cold, too hot are difficult, because the lungs are delicate ah. In fact, there is another is a long-term child sick with a lot of western medicine, with western medicine hurt the child's spleen and stomach, so it can also cause this situation, if this is the case, according to the above equivalent to see it.

If the spleen yang is damaged, or take western medicine to damage the spleen and stomach and cause repeated colds and coughs, you can consider the use of Chinese medicine to treat it. Because I can not prescribe medicine, I give a simple dietary therapy, you can go back to try.

Ginger, pericarp, pear, mulberry leaf, ginger can warm the spleen and warm the stomach to remove dampness and relieve the surface, and lower the stomach qi, pericarp the qi of the lungs and stomach and wake up the spleen, pear, moisturize the lungs, lower the stomach fire, mulberry leaf lowering the lung qi to stop coughing. Brewed as a tea to drink it, if you have chronic pharyngitis can also be used.

Look for me. Hospitals just get worse and worse.

Eat a little bit of medicine does not work, do not eat ah, is a medicine three poisons, the child's spleen and stomach are eating bad, the future resistance can only get worse and worse, this situation to go to the hospital to check out the look, there may be allergic cough, seasonal cough, cough, whooping cough, and so on, or to know the specific cause of the symptomatic good. You can also choose dietary therapy, lemon shellfish paste, the effect of moisturizing lung phlegm cough effect is particularly good, there is a need to pay attention to me!

There may be physical problems, some dolls are prone to coughing when the weather changes slightly, waiting for the weather to warm up a lot better, my family grew up with bronchitis bronchitis, unless it is an acute attack during the period I was brought to treatment, serious phlegm plus nebulization, plastering ointment regulating the spleen and stomach, phlegm, a combination of Western and traditional Chinese medicine, and now three years old, much better, the weather changed a little bit or a little bit of coughing, go to the doctor's stethoscope to listen to the organs also clean lungs are normal, just occasionally coughing a few coughs in the morning, the doctor said it was normal. organs also with lungs also clean and normal, is occasionally coughing a few coughs in the morning, the doctor said that the normal situation, the winter climate is dry adults sometimes cough a few coughs it, really can not help it is not now off and on coughing for two months, see the doctor normal ah do not need to drink medicine, let drink more water, do not eat before going to bed at night, food accumulation also caused by coughing, usually pay attention to the diet on the good!

If you have two or three bad coughs, first check your diet for cold drinks, desserts, snacks, meat, etc., and if so, cut it out for a while.

Secondly, check to see if it's right ah, so long there must be something wrong somewhere

Lastly, name your child's cough symptoms, age, so others can help you, you have given too little information to argue.

Does the fact that it hasn't cleared up in two or three months mean that it's the wrong medication!

Be clear. Coughs are caused by backed-up snot.

My daughter did this and the hospital prescribed it in the back and it worked. Used for two weeks. After coughing less, it is not used to slowly stop coughing.
